Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention implements a canteen cup cover that can be deployed in conjunction with the standard military issue canteen and cup. The canteen cup cover of the present invention is most preferably manufactured from a durable metallic material, such as stainless steel. The canteen cup cover has one or more integrated slit-like apertures and may be selectively placed over and removed from the canteen cup, thereby providing enhanced functionality for the canteen cup for certain cooking applications. In addition, the most preferred embodiments of the canteen cup cover comprise an integrated signaling mirror. A specific cooking method, using the canteen cup cover is also disclosed.

Abstract: The canteen cup insulator of the present invention implements an insulating layer that can be deployed in conjunction with the standard military issue canteen and cup. The canteen cup insulator is most preferably manufactured from a durable material that has at least some insulating value. The exact nature and thickness of the insulating material may vary depending on the specific application. The canteen cup insulator may be selectively attached to and removed from the canteen cup, thereby providing insulation for the canteen cup. Additionally, the canteen cup insulator has an integral “foot” formed around the lower edge, thereby providing a wider base and additional stability for the canteen cup and liquid contents during use.

Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention implements a cover that can be deployed in conjunction with the standard military issue canteen and cup. The canteen cup cover is most preferably manufactured from a durable and flexible food-grade material. The cross-section of the cover features a ridge and groove arrangement that has been specifically configured to receive the edge of the canteen cup, which typically defines approximately a 45° angle with the body portion of the canteen cup. The cover may be selectively attached to and removed from the canteen cup, thereby providing enhanced functionality for the canteen cup.
